The contest between the Mariners and the Red Sox finishes the weekend as the potentially most entertaining game. The series has been first or second each day, swapping with the Giants and Nationals yesterday. Both the Mariners and the Giants have been amongst the most potentially entertaining teams since I started doing this in the spring. The best pitching match-up is at Yankee Stadium, where
Chris Sale goes against
Chris Capuano, which just edges out
Max Scherzer versus
Kyle Gibson in Target Field, a ball park I have decided is not aesthetically appealing on the television. What's all that brown about? Aficionados of BETA development processes will be eager to learn that I have tweaked the formula quite significantly in that I have reduced the impact of the playoff value. Otherwise, by the end of the season it would have accounted for 100 per cent of the PEGS. As it stands, by the end of the season it will now only account for 70 per cent of the PEGS, and I may yet reduce that further. Tweet me (@frapaolotweets) if you have strong opinions about what value it should possess.
Seattle vs Boston 61
San Francisco vs Washington 60
Detroit vs Minnesota 58
Pittsburgh vs Milwaukee 57
Atlanta vs Cincinnati 56
Kansas City vs Texas 52
Tampa Bay vs Toronto 48
White Sox vs Yankees 48
St Louis vs Philadelphia 47
Angels vs Oakland 46
Houston vs Cleveland 45
Baltimore vs Cubs 45
San Diego vs Arizona 43
Miami vs Colorado 42
Mets vs Dodgers 42
This is the BETA version of a method of rating games for their potential to provide entertaining baseball. The formula is still in development, but is refined enough at the moment that it can guide you towards games where the batters will get on base and hit for power, the fielders cover ground and throw well and the pitchers induce the batter to swing. Games are rated on the 20-80 scale, with 50 being an average score.
